Chu Xiang went to the real estate agent early the next morning to look at the houses. The three houses were all three bedrooms of more than 100 square meters. She planned to have one bedroom, one study, and a gym. Although she had a gym membership, it was more convenient to exercise in her own home.
The houses were all renovated, and the hardware was excellent. Chu Xiang only needed to choose a renovation style that she liked.
After looking at them one by one, she chose a house with warm colors that felt very warm. She immediately contacted the landlord to sign the contract and pay. Then she hired a moving company to move all her luggage over.
When Chu Xiang opened the door to tidy up the things at the door, the door opposite hers opened. She looked up and happened to meet the eyes of the person who walked out.
"Zhuo Yu?" Chu Xiang said in surprise. "You live here?"
Zhuo Yu was also very surprised. He nodded and looked at the situation in her house. He asked, "You moved here? What a coincidence. Do you need help? "
Chu Xiang smiled and said, "No, thank you. There's nothing heavy. I can tidy it up myself. Are you going to the gym? "
"Yes." Zhuo Yu thought about the post where her home address was exposed and how she was blocked by Xia Wushuang's fans. He instantly understood why she suddenly moved.
They had met a few times in a row and could be considered acquaintances. Zhuo Yu said politely, "You're moving today, and we're coincidentally neighbors. Let's have dinner together tonight. I'll recommend some good food nearby."
"Okay, thank you." Chu Xiang laughed and said, "I think I've thanked you many times. What a coincidence. How's your grandmother's health? Thank you for introducing a nurse to me at the hospital. That nurse was very professional and helped me a lot. Thank you. "
Zhuo Yu leaned against the door and couldn't help but laugh. "Don't thank me. It's nothing. My grandmother has completely recovered. She can even go square dancing now. You just moved here and aren't familiar with the environment. If you need any help, don't hesitate to look for me. I'm either at home or at the gym. "
"Okay, then I'll tidy up first. I'll look for you at the gym at six."
Zhuo Yu responded and entered the elevator. Their building had two households on each floor, and there were only the two of them on this floor. Chu Xiang didn't expect such a coincidence. However, it was a good thing that the neighbors were easy to get along with. At least he could have a friend.
The original owner had slight social phobia. She didn't have any friends and her relationship with her family wasn't good. This was a good thing. She didn't need to explain to anyone why her personality had changed.
Chu Xiang spent the whole afternoon tidying up the house. She changed all the household items into the new warm colors that she had bought. It looked very comfortable. When she placed the laptop on the desk in the study, she suddenly remembered that the original owner's laptop was about to be scrapped. It took more than ten seconds to open a web page, and from time to time her typing would jam. She had to get a new one.
Also, her phone was very old. She should change her clothes. Chu Xiang looked at the time. It was only five o 'clock. She changed her clothes and went downstairs to find a barbershop.
"Please help me cut it short, but it's not too long. It's neat and short."
"Hello, short hair looks better with a perm. The fluffy top is more suitable for your face. We have a styling book in the shop. Do you want to refer to it?"
Chu Xiang looked at her chubby face and refused. "I'll style it later. I'll just cut it short today. I'm in a hurry. Thank you."
The barber didn't recommend anything else. He quickly cut Chu Xiang's hair short. Because Chu Xiang had always emphasized that it should be short, in the end, it was cut to the same length as many men's hair. Chu Xiang was wearing glasses. The style of the glasses wasn't good. Her face was chubby, so it really didn't look good. However, it looked more refreshing than before. It wasn't too bad.
The barber wasn't willing to give up. "Short hair will look good with a perm. If you have time, I suggest you do it."
Chu Xiang fiddled with her hair with satisfaction and smiled. "Okay, thank you."
She was confident that she would be able to slim down after some time. By then, her hair would be longer, and she would definitely look good with a styling. But now, she didn't need to. She didn't look good. Her next plan was to either go to the gym and sweat profusely or stay at home. There was no need for her to dress up.
When Zhuo Yu saw Chu Xiang, he was stunned for a moment. Chu Xiang looked much more energetic after cutting her hair. She had a vigorous vitality. He had seen those posts previously. To be honest, even a man like him couldn't help but frown. He couldn't imagine how a woman could endure it.
Because the first time they met was in the hospital, and the timing was sensitive, he always associated her sudden heart attack with the online abuse. But he didn't expect that Chu Xiang would give him a completely different feeling. It was as though she didn't care about it at all. It was really out of his expectations.
The two of them went to a restaurant with a good reputation nearby for dinner. Most of the time, they talked about fitness and perfected Chu Xiang's fitness plan. Now that Chu Xiang had moved in, it was very convenient to be near the gym. He arranged for her to work out for three hours every day. The rest of the time, she would go for a walk and rest. Maintaining health was the most important thing.
Chu Xiang wasn't good at this, so she completely listened to him. From the second day onwards, she strictly followed the schedule and went to the gym to report.
Zhuo Yu went home and found "Heavenly Immortal" and "Demon and Fairy". He read them overnight very carefully. Since Chu Xiang moved in across from his house and was a customer of his gym, they would definitely meet often in the future. They were in the same industry, so it was indeed fate. He had to make sure that she didn't copy, and then decide whether to develop into friends or keep a distance.
With just one look, he saw the knack of it. "Heavenly Immortal" and "Demon and Fairy" didn't have any similar plotlines, nor did they have any so-called integration. In the cultivation world, conflicts between master and disciple, senior and junior brothers and sisters, and the positive and negative factions were very common. Almost every cultivation literature would write about it. It was unreasonable for Chu Xiang to plagiarize this as a color palette, but outsiders wouldn't understand. If things got out of hand, they would still be able to slander Chu Xiang.
He had been writing for ten years, so he knew a lot about this circle. After a round of investigation, he understood that "Demon and Fairy" was trying to sell the copyright to attract the attention of the copyright owner. They deliberately found a similar book to create hype. Chu Xiang was just an innocent bystander.
The Almighty was plagiarized, so it raised its status first. Many people didn't read this novel, but for various reasons, they would subscribe to Xia Wushuang's novel. This pushed this novel to the top of the gold list, and the more they collected, the better it looked. This was all proof of the book's strength.
In the end, no matter how Jinjiang judged it, as long as "Demon and Fairy" was popular enough to attract the copyright owner, she would make a lot of money. That was why she spared no effort to blow this matter out of the circle. This was just a marketing campaign, but this kind of thing was very rare in the online literature circle. Many people were tricked and couldn't see the truth.
After confirming that Chu Xiang didn't plagiarize, Zhuo Yu's attitude towards her was much more natural. When Chu Xiang asked him if there was a computer store nearby, he directly drove her to Mausoleum.
"What kind of computer do you want to buy?"
Chu Xiang didn't understand this at all. "It doesn't lag when using typing software or web pages. My previous computer was too slow and difficult to use."
Zhuo Yu almost suspected that she wasn't a writer. Weren't her requirements for every work equipment too simple? He couldn't help but say, "If the budget is high, it's better to have a better computer and a complete set of peripherals. Choose a capacitive keyboard or a mechanical keyboard, a keyboard, a mouse, an ergonomic chair, and a push-pull mechanical screen rack. It's best to have a desktop, a laptop, a tablet, and a Bluetooth keyboard. This way, you can write anywhere. It's the most convenient. "
Chu Xiang was stunned and looked at him suspiciously. "Write? You know what I do? "
Zhuo Yu touched his nose and coughed lightly. "Sorry, I'm actually an author from the Dian family. There's been a lot of bloodshed in the forums these few days, and I recognized you when I saw your photo. I'm 'Zhuo Er Bufan'. "
Zhuo Er Bufan was a famous super guru in the Dian family. Chu Xiang looked at him in disbelief. "Is it really so coincidental? I just moved house and actually met a guru in the same industry? Is it true? "
Zhuo Yu was amused by her reaction. "I was also very surprised when I found out. It's too coincidental. I didn't even dare to write like that."
Chu Xiang smiled and said, "Yes, if I wrote like that in the novel, I would probably be scolded by the readers for being melodramatic and old-fashioned. In fact, the readers don't know that all the plots that are scolded for being illogical and stupid are not as exaggerated as in reality."
"That's right. After watching the news so much, I think that it's all child's play. In reality, there are so many illogical and stupid things. It's better to beautify it in the novel so that everyone can accept it. " At the mention of their common field, the smile on Zhuo Yu's face became more genuine. He suggested, "Do you want to buy peripherals? If the budget is sufficient, I can recommend a few good ones for you. "
Chu Xiang nodded. "Okay, the budget is not a problem. Help me buy a set. I'll treat you to a meal."
Zhuo Yu had been writing for ten years. Naturally, he knew what occupational diseases professional authors needed to prevent and what equipment they needed to protect themselves. He used half an hour to help Chu Xiang buy all the equipment. Then, he moved them back and helped Chu Xiang install the equipment.
Chu Xiang sat on the chair and tapped on the keyboard. It was quite comfortable. She didn't know that there were so many types of equipment, and there were even types that were suitable for authors to write. The mechanical screen rack was especially useful. When she got tired of sitting, she just had to lie down and pull the screen rack over. It was very convenient. Indeed, it was all thanks to Zhuo Yu's recommendation.
She looked up and smiled. "Thank you again. Let's go and eat. I didn't expect that I would benefit from this disaster and get to know a god. Can I ask you some questions? I'm planning to start a new novel, but I'm a little confused when I'm doing the outline. "
"No problem. Just treat it as a casual chat. What kind of novel are you planning to write?"
"It's still a cultivation novel. You know my situation. The story of 'Heavenly Immortals' is still a little immature and can't take a beating. I've thought of a better story and plan to continue 'Immortals and Demons'. Now, I already have all the content of the story, but there's too much to write down. I don't know what to write and what not to write. I haven't been able to do the outline well. "
"Oh, then you don't have a good grasp of the rhythm and the details. I have some experience in this area. Let's eat and talk. "
Chu Xiang gained a teacher for free. She finally had some clues in this unknown field and understood a little about what kind of plot to write in the novel. It was really a blessing in disguise.
